How do you graph the problem y=|x+3|-2
The graph of y=|x| looks like this:

The +3 causes the graph to shift horizontally to the left 3 units.
The -2 causes the graph to shift vertically downward 2 units.
This causes the graph to look like this:

If you aren't using translastions, you can get the same result from plotting points.
Let me know if that's what you need.
Happy Calculating!!!
